"Block private networks" would only block inbound connections on WAN. It
would not block outbound connections.

In a default config with a DHCP WAN, you can surf by just plugging in.
There is nothing special you need to do -- so long as your WAN and LAN
are on different subnets.

If you're using a static IP on WAN, you should use the wizard to set it,
or ensure that you added and selected a gateway via the WAN interface
config.

If you try to manually set a WAN IP and Gateway and didn't do it
properly, it could end up either without a default route or it could end
up with a default route but not properly doing outbound NAT.

Either way, "block private networks" would not impact outgoing traffic
so it's not likely related to your issue.
